Joomla FCKEditor setup

Introduction

You can get FCKeditor working with Joomla by downloading Joomla FCKEditor plugin. Steps below tested with Joomla 1.5.12 and JoomlaFCK 2.6.4.1.

Details

1. Install imgmap plugin into {joomla}\plugins\editors\fckeditor\editor\plugins\imgmap\
2. In {joomla}\plugins\editors\fckeditor\fckconfig.js somewhere at the end of the file add:

FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'imgmap', 'en') ;

1. In {joomla}\plugins\editors\fckeditor\editor\jtoolbarsetconfig.xml you will find the toolbar sets (Advanced/Creative/Blog/Default). Locate

<plugin name="Image" acl="*"/>

in the toolbarset you want to use, and add:

<plugin name="imgmapPopup" acl="*"/>

Finally Clear your browser cache and launch article editor. You should see the imgmap icon next to the image icon. (Note: in case of the default Office2007 skin you only see a missing icon, this will be fixed in the next release)

Note that the location of jtoolbarsetconfig.xml is within the editor folder that's in turn within fckeditor within editors within plugins
